Chen Mo and Zhang Long had not seen each other for many years. When they met again, the latter couldn't help but gather around Chen Mo and ask him about the cold and warmth, speaking more than usual. Zhang Long became a chatterbox in front of Chen Mo. He couldn't stop talking.
When he reaches the emotional climax, tears will occasionally fall.
Half an hour had passed, and Zhang Long was still talking non-stop when there was a knock on the door outside the room.
Chen Mo furrowed his brow. Zhang Long was an unexpected person, but the one knocking on the door now should be someone he had expected, either it could be Yun Chunqiu or Long Feiyao.
"Who is it?"
Zhang Long suddenly became vigilant.
"Huh, friend, you don't have to worry."
Chen Mo shook his head slightly and smiled as he replied.
Zhang Long nodded slightly, about to get up to open the door, but suddenly realized his current appearance, turned to look at Chen Mo with a honest smile, "Master, this...".
Chen Mo also noticed Zhang Long's wretchedness. If he said that he didn't take care of himself, that was fine. But after the great crying just now, his current state looked very unattractive. Especially his eyes were red.
"Go ahead."
Chen Mo simply said two words, Zhang Long nodded slightly and leaped out of the window in one jump.
"Come in..."
Chen Mo turned his gaze to the door, and before he could finish his sentence, the door was swiftly pushed open, and he was faced with Yun Chunqiu and Feng Banxia.
"Thank goodness you didn't leave."
Yun Chunqiu breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, when she heard the sound, she thought Chen Mo had escaped. Without thinking twice, she pushed open the door to make sure he hadn't run away.
"Hmph, you sure do have some skill. You dared to use the grudge between me and Liu Ruyan to escape on your own."
Yun Chunqiu gathered the worry on her face and turned to give Chen Mo a stern glare, scolding him.
Chen Mo chuckled and said, "Since the watch is not tightened, I don't have many ways to escape. It's really thanks to your help."
" spit, who wants to help you? You scoundrel, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been punished by the emperor..."
Yun Chunqiu's anger grew increasingly strong, and she almost couldn't help but beat someone.
Chen Mo stepped back and avoided her sharpness, "Let's talk in a civilized manner."
With that, he turned his gaze to Feng Banxia standing silently beside him.
"It wasn't me who told her your address, she tracked you herself... And I didn't tell her about your affairs when she asked me if I lend you a sword..."
Feng Banxia nervously explained a few sentences, which made Chen Mo unable to help but sweat.
He originally thought that his identity was exposed because the mask was cracked, but now it seems that even if the mask wasn't broken, Feng Banxia's mouth would sell him out.

Chen Mo couldn't help but mutter a word in his heart.
"Well, I won't say much more. Although we are here to carry out tasks, the emperor also gave us another task, which is to bring you back. This is my chance to make amends..."
"That can't be right. I just barely escaped, do you think I'll go back willingly?"
"That's not up to you."
Yun Chunqiu raised her eyebrows, her spiritual power burst out subtly, and she had the air of immediately subduing Chen Mo.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a cold shout came from outside the window, followed by an extremely powerful sword aura. Yun Chunqiu, who was about to strike, was instantly suppressed by this sword aura and could not move a muscle.
In the next moment, Zhang Long in a green robe jumped in from the window, his expression cold and indifferent.
"Big, Uncle?"
As soon as she saw Zhang Long, Yun Chunqiu couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hmm?"
Chen Mo looked in surprise at Yun Chunqiu, then at Zhang Long, "Do you two know each other?"
Zhang Long looked at Yun Chunqiu with a cold gaze, without showing any mercy because of their past relationship, "I know her, she helped me once and I saved her."
"Uncle, how could you be here? What are you doing...?"
Yun Chunqiu was puzzled. She thought she had gotten along well with Zhang Long over these past days, but she never expected that he would strike her for someone else.
"I have been apart from Third Young Master for many years, and I recognized him today. I don't know who you are affiliated with, but if you dare harm the young master, I won't forgive you lightly."
"You..."
Yun Chunqiu gritted her teeth, feeling angry, but upon thinking of the other person as her savior, she finally held back. She then glared at Chen Mo in front of her.
"It's all his fault."
Chen Mo watched the expressions and heard the conversation between the two, especially when he saw a trace of tenderness in Yun Chunqiu's eyes, a trace of gossipy taste suddenly appeared on his face.
"Zhang Long, you don't have to be so harsh. Yun Chunqiu isn't a stranger; she's an unintentional ally. She's one of us too. She came this time just to take me back without any malice."
Chen Mo opened his mouth to break the ice and let Zhang Long suppress the atmosphere, and the latter understood and immediately withdrew.
Yun Chunqiu finally relaxed but still had some resentment towards Chen Mo, "Now that you know my purpose, why do you still resist? Wouldn't it be better to go back and see the emperor with me?"
"I will go back, but not now. I still have things to attend to."
Chen Mo smiled.
Yun Chunqiu's expression turned unsatisfied, "No."
"Hmph, are you really planning to take me back?"
Chen Mo smiled gently, "Don't you worry, I won't expose your affairs."
"Hmph, I don't know what you're talking about."
"It's about the incident where you helped me escape."
"You're lying..."
Yun Chunqiu was about to curse him, but when she looked up at Zhang Long, she swallowed her words.
"I am just making a fool of you, but don't you think that Yun Wuhe would believe you more than me? Moreover, even if Yun Wuhe does believe you, don't forget that Yun Wuhe always listens to my words. If I were to order you to marry that prince from the country of Wu..."
Chen Mo was slowly getting closer to Yun Chunqiu, speaking in a low voice with a tone of threat, making the latter's face look even worse.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Don't believe me, I just won't believe that I'll be tied up and taken back by you, and the emperor will still treat me this way."
Yun Chunqiu took a deep breath, trying not to let Chen Mo's words affect her.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo coldly turned around and said to Zhang Long, "Take Yun Girl away and bind her to be sent back to Tianmu Temple. Tell Wu Xin that she should go north for the wedding...".
"Understood, Master."
Zhang Long nodded slightly and walked towards Yun Chunqiu without hesitation, his gaze filled with determination.
In an instant, Yun Chunqiu was completely panic-stricken. She bit her lower lip lightly and blushed, ashamed to say: "I'm sorry, I won't take you back anymore."
Chen Mo's lips curled slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He then stopped Zhang Long and said, "It's unnecessary. Since she's so sensible, let her deal with it herself."
"Chen Mo, I'll remember you."
Yun Chunqiu raised her finger pointing at Chen Mo, turned around angrily, and left.
Feng Banxia looked around and thought of following Chen Mo, but after thinking it over, she still decided to follow Yun Chunqiu.
"Hmph, to fight with me."
Chen Mo clapped his hands and looked at Zhang Long with a smile, asking, "Zhang Long, are you and Yun Chunqiu really not related?"
Zhang Long frowned slightly, "I don't understand what Master means."
"It's just..."
Chen Mo thought for a moment and directly addressed the point, "Love affairs between men and women."
Zhang Long stood up straight, with a firm and determined look in his eyes, "Women will only slow down my sword speed."
